For instance, the Civ games are basically Whig History: The Game, presenting liberal capitalism as the ideal end point for all societies. It even includes uncivilized "barbarian tribes" whose sole purpose is to be exterminated so you can take their land for the glory of capitalism.
Something in my gut hated the Civs from the very first game, and I came to it as a SimCity enjoyer. I think it was just that: the superficial End of History lifestyle virtue signaling.
